What is natural hair?

I am recently confronted by new naturals who have abandoned chemicals in disgust but have no research into the alternatives. If one just stops processing their hair they will surely have problems.

-two textures
-new texture=new products, new styling tools and a new mentality
-social pressure
-general misinformation

My partner wears her natural hair in a "press-n-curl". You would think that that wouldn't be such a leap but even she did research, tapped me as a resource and has embraced a different mentality about her hair.

I cannot imagine embarking on a natural journey blind. I am shocked by how many naturals seem to have done so only to relapse, educate themselves and return. I hovered on the edge of my Knaps for two years. I lurked on hair boards, forums and finally my beloved Youtube. When I finally decided to do the do I was sure, secure, resolute and most of all well-informed. I still learn new things about my quaf daily but I never damaged my hair or my self image through my own ignorance.




This fine lady on YouTube gave me permission to share her vid as an example.
